Virat Kohli has been exceptional while playing for India in his illustrious career so far. The man holds a lot of records in his career but the major one he is chasing right now is of Sachin Tendulkar's 100 international centuries. Kohli is at the second place in this aspect and is quite a bit behind right now. However, he recovered significantly in 2023 after a lean patch since 2020. But will he be able to go past the master? That is the big question.
Inteestingly, his barren run in terms of international hundreds was broken in the shortest format during the Asia Cup in 2022 against Afghanistan which is still his only ton in T20Is. Among three formats, Kohli enjoys batting in ODI format and it was proved yet again in World Cup 2023. During the tournament, he also went past Tendulkar's record of most centuries in the 50-over format and also notched up half-centuries of tons in ODI cricket in the semifinal against New Zealand. Notably, the Delhi boy's first ODI ton came in December 2009 against Sri Lanka.
As far as his Test career is concerned, Virat Kohli has hit 29 tons so far having scored a couple in 2023. Having said that, the man has struggled in the format in testing conditions and that has led to his average going below 50 in the format. Nevertheless, he already has scored more than 8000 runs in the longest format of the game and might continue playing for the next few years.
Kohli might have scored only a solitary century in T20Is, but he has seven centuries to show in the Indian Premier League (IPL), all while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Four of those tons came in 2016 alone while he smashed two in IPL 2023 much to the delight of the fans.
Here's the detailed list of Virat Kohli's centuries in all formats:
